Alex is phenomenal! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food here is amazing and a lot. We have the salcocho, breaded chicken breast, and churrasco. As for sides, we had white rice, tostones, sweet plantain, and red beans. The restaurant is very clean.

I have to say the food is expensive here but when you try the food, you'll understand why. Our 1st time here today (Saturday night) & it was a wonderful experience. I ordered steak tostones sandwich which I've never seen & it was awesome! I tried one corn empanada as I cannot eat anything with gluten & it was delicious. And the one that took our order looked like he was the manager. He knows customer service!! We asked for several things in small size & he was happy to make it happen like the mondongo soup which my husband loved & the one empanada. The atmosphere was SO wonderful w/ live jazz music & even a singer at one point. The drinks from other guests looked spectacular so give it a try, you'll enjoy it.

Delicious Colombian, Argentinian and Puerto Rican mofongo. We order de empanadas but they were basically pastelillos. Great flavor and crispy. Also for main entry we ordered the bandeja paisa, milanesa platter and one Argentinian steak, all of them very presentable and awesome seasoning, delicious. The only thing we have to say that this restaurant is very expensive. Plates prices ranges $25 - $30 plus. Another thing we didn't like, and we do not know whether is legal in Florida, they include a mandatory tip of 18% and ask you for additional tips. The servers were very polite but they seem to be a little money hungry. In total we paid $172 for a party of 3. I don't think we are coming back due to the high prices.

Food was BOMB! I’ve had lots of different Latin restaurants in Tampa but this was a delicious experience 😌 and the bakery is so delectable as well don’t skip out on some pastries for there and to go! ( thought the art was super funny and beautifully executed)
